If you like sci-fi and philosophy and haven’t already read Anathem by Neal Stephenson, I *highly* recommend it.nbsp; I listened to the audiobook version, which was amazing itself.

The story follows the journey of a young disciple of an order dedicated to the study of science, mathematics and philosophy and what happens when a world changing event occurs and must be deciphered.

I think it’s one of the most ground-breaking Sci-Fi books in the last 20 years.

I went to the LA Zoo yesterday. The chimp section looked like the opening sequence from 2001 A Space Odyssey. Cool, but freaky…

Here’s another mystery photo of my upcoming DVD project…

Here’s a sneak peek:

Yesterday, Elon Musk (a PayPal founder, founder of the Tesla car company and all-around entrepreneur) launched the first private spacecraft into orbit. The guy is James Bond villain mad genius, but a really good guy using his smarts and money to bring the future a lot faster. If you go to the SpaceX website you can see their plans for future rockets including cost per kilo to orbit. They’ve also got a manned spacecraft planned.
